CAA Provisional Statistics Update

[t.ash.27]

Last month was the busiest October ever for the airport with over 1 million pax for the first time. Another huge milestone for the airport.

At this rate there's a risk of reaching 12 mil pax before getting planning permission for 15m

Whilst I am awaiting a response from the CAA with data for Bristol's movements in September here is the rest of my monthly analysis.

As usual it is that time of the month for me to produce my usual statistical report. Any variation between the total monthly figures and those that I publish at https://forums4airports.com/threads/5728/page-3 (post #60) is purely due to differences in the CAA data in Tables 12.2 & 12.3

If you check the rolling 12 month average it’s only up about 100k to 10.7 million in the last year so growth has slowed. Next year could get close to 11 million with all the easyJet increases.

The CAA has finally updated it's records to include September movements for Bristol. As a result here is my final report for that month - hopefully just 2 weeks until October's data becomes available.

With the CAA data now being available, here is my take on October's statistics. Please remember that, for an unknown reason, there is always a difference between the total passenger figure in Table 9 and the separate figures from Tables 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3.

With the CAA data now being available, here is my take on November's statistics. Please remember that, for an unknown reason, there is always a difference between the total passenger figure in Table 9 and the separate figures from Tables 12.1, 12.2 and 12.3.

Bristol airports full year statistics are now available on their website. Full year is slightly down on their forecasted figure - particularly in November

1,767 less than the forecast is not far out. The November figure from the CAA is about 3,000 higher than the airport’s own. Will be interesting to see what Dec is.

I think we can conclude either way it’ll be short of 10.8 million for 2025. Should surpass that this year with the easyJet growth.

Will eat my words. 2025 did surpass 10.8 million due to the growth in December.

Here is my usual monthly take on the CAA data - this time for January. As usual there are differences in the figures when comparing the various tables, however I have used Table 3, 9, 12.1, 12.3 and 13.
